nine weeks...

in our ninth week there is lots and lots of love...and somehow less and less sleep. we spend our mornings jibber jabbering under the activity mat and then on our tummy looking around. we had a visit to the pediatrician...and a diaper blowout on the table. we are learning maeve's cries better and learning how to best help her out. we are getting good at baths...and cuddling after...

we get outside for our walk each day. today we walked twice, which is something i haven't done in nine weeks:)...

our friends from seattle sent some animal cards for maeve and she loves looking at them. it is beautiful how she is starting to focus on things and follow things around the room as they move...

we still can't read on the day you were born or on the night you were born without getting teary. we have started to pack away newborn clothes. maeve is starting to regrow some fuzz on her head. we had a visit from nana and popsie today. i sometimes find hobbes sleeping next to maeve's crib or by the rocker we nurse her in. i have hope that underneath a little softness i may actually have some ab muscles still...just maybe. maeve has cheeks that beg to be squeezed.

week nine is amazing, just like the rest, only it keeps getting better and better.

it really does keep getting better and better....6 to 24 months is my favorite although there are still amazingly cool parts now too but it gets better and better is true.....I loved walking daily with Ben and Abram when I was home with them....
